    Description

    “The musicianship of Jim Galloway, Ralph Sutton, Milt Hinton and Gus Johnson during these 1988 sessions is a joy throughout … although they chose tunes affiliated with Armstrong, they avoided many of the obvious choices, and included material from different periods throughout his long career. Galloway, who is mostly heard on soprano sax, shines in less commonly recorded compositions such as ‘Song of the Islands’ and ‘You Rascal You’ … Sutton easily switches between utilizing a very light touch and powering the band with his style of driving stride piano that can be mistaken for no one else’s … Milt Hinton?was one of the first call bassists for decades for many reasons, his thoughtful accompaniment always sounded fresh and his solos are a joy. Gus Johnson, a very dependable drummer, provides just the right touch on every track.” (4 stars) – Ken Dryden, allmusic
